Description
When backing up my websites (Joomla), I notice that I have a lot more speed available to download but it takes the content of directories to slowly.
Meaning if you have many directories with only 2 to 3 files but have 7 simulta. transfers going way to long to create the Queue for files to download.
I am using V3.8 on Godaddy hosting. The queue is most of the time empty.
It should fill the queue for downloading much faster.

This sounds about right.
When the directories only have a few small files in them then the speed of multiple simultaneous transfers is not fully used.
I like the idea of multiple "workers". This will do an overall speed improvement of factor 10 or more.
Here some stats: It took 4hrs for 765MB(60k files) on a 30Mbps line.
This might be a limitation of the FTP protocol. The solution would be to traverse the directory tree with multiple "workers". Not sure if this is possible with only one command connection.
